Tadaima~Back into Action: Lovely beauty treats for all

Hi guys and gals out there!! Sorry for leaving my blog for so long. Been off-ing for a one week -holiday-ing at home. Hehehehe... It was a nice get-together with family holiday. Love it so much. Travel from KL down to Singapore. My legs are just exhausted. Too tired to walk too far these few days. Hahaha. You alls must be eager to know what happening thing has been going around. Well, there are good and bad stuffs going around for the past one week. I shall unveil the curtain one by one. One per day. Or else it will be tough for you guys to follow up. No worries, pictures will definitely be uploaded in here. Of course not all. I will be crazy to upload all. Just some that I find them interesting!

As a treat for you guys and gals, I am sharing beauty tips by using eggs, that helps in minimizing pores, remove blackheads and firming your cheeks. Not forgetting leaving your face moisturize, smooth and supple. OK without wasting anymore time let's get down to business!!! Heee =D

1. Take the egg white (1-2 tablespoon) - enough to cover your neck and face

2. Lightly beat the egg white (try to minimize the bubble formation).

3. Apply it thinly onto clean dry face.

4. Leave it for 15-20mins or until it dries.

5. Wash it off.

You can definitely feel the immediate effect. I have sensitive plus dry skin and it helps a lot! Thank to mum for telling me this miracle to save my face. Mum is the best. Thank you mom!! Love ya! Muacks Muacks!

For those who is going to try, happy trying. Egg yolk can be used as well and both provide the same effect! ^_^ Or another way is to eat up the egg yolk! Of course cook it la~ *fainted*

Eating Out - West Coast Plaza

This time the eating places are in West Coast Plaza. Unable to travel far due to work. Therefore, have to eat somewhere near with my friend Hoong Shing. Actually, we do not really know what to eat. Since there are two newly opened restaurant, we decided to try both!

Destination 1 is Tian Wang (Heavenly Prosperity) - Nice name huh? ^_^. When you first step in, they give you a cosy feeling. At the same time surrounded by the ancient China restaurant architectural design. Love it very much. The typical me, cant resist to snap a few pics of the restaurant and of course myself hehehehehe.... This is how the inner restaurant looks like. It will be even more perfect if the waitress wear the old ancient China costume. But somehow it's hard, I know~

However, the way they serve the food is a bit slow. So while waiting, I asked Hoong Shing to snap my pics hahahhaa.. too narcissist I think .. Hehehehehe =P.

Ahh... o-cha~I like the ambience of this restaurant. It's a good place for photoshoot. Hmm.. wondering if we could ever do that Hahahhahaha...

Finally, the dishes that we ordered are finally here. First, is the minced meat with brinjal. The food is nice. Not too salty, not too spicy. But just a little bit sweet. The fragrance is not too strong too. The gravy is still boiling when it is served. Delicious!

Second dish is the Bamboo Shoot Spare Ribs. This is superb and is a must try if you ever dine in this restaurant. The taste of the food will linger in your mouth and the way they cook it wasnt too oily. Rated 4 stars. Lacking of one star is because it was a little bit too salty. But the combination of vinegar give a very refreshing feeling for this meal. Nice ^o^

Hope to try their dim sum next time. Yeah, this restaurant serve dim sum from 11am till 5pm. Judging from the menu, it looks not too bad and price wise is reasonable too. Hmm...next try out will be Tian Wang's Dim Sum.

Destination 2 is the Traditional Vietnamese Cuisine located at the same floor. The ambience is normal and I guess this restaurant is run by a family-type of restaurant. However, I like the design as it doesnt look too crowded although it is packed with people. Pricing wise is not too expensive too. Affordable! Especially for students who are always looking for cheap and nice food plus good ambience. Hehehehe

Same with Tian Wang we ordered two dishes. First on the list is the egg noodle. Well, it looks like similar to "Bak Chok Mee" in Singapore or Malaysia. However, the taste is far far far much better.

Before, I continue with the taste. Let me tell you a two PhD students joke. Well two dishes came at once. So I thought that the sauce (which actually is the sauce for second dish) is to mix with the noodles. After we poured in and mix, I somehow sense something is wrong. I asked Hoong Shing "What are we going to eat with for the second dish?" and I laugh till my stomach burst. Well, I guess both of us are too into our research to the extent we are experimenting our food. Sauce is still needed for the second dish. So I braved myself and ask the waiter for another sauce for the second dish. The waiter hesitated and told us that he had already given us. I make an excuse saying we accidentally pour it away and he was filled with question marks. I think he must be wondering where has the sauce gone. Hahahhahahahaha. Very funny. I guess we really got PHD (permanent head damage)!!

Okok back to the egg noodle. The noodle taste real good. Totally different from the wontan noodles or bak chok mee noodles that we have taken. Taste much more fresher and chewy. I love it a lot. The meat is really very tender and juicy. I guess that's a very nice vietnamese food that I have had besides Pho Hoa beef noodles. Will try out their beef noodles next time. Hehehehe...

Last dish of the day is the rice roll with minced pork and mushrooms. And see the orange sauce, that's the sauce where we accidentally poured it onto our noodles. Very good indeed!!! The rice roll is very good. No oily, greasy or meaty feeling. You will definitely ask for more! I do hope to go there and taste more dishes from this restaurant too. But of course with my eating kakis or else food doesnt taste good with no company to enjoy. Find me if you are interested buddies!!

Even Mr. Wong who doesnt have good impression on Vietnamese food also said that this totally changed his point of view on Vietnamese food. Cool, heh! Hehehehhe...

An evening at West Coast Park

Too saturated to work. Therefore, take a break to jog and did some muscles toning around at West Coast Park. Cant resist the urge to snap a few pics of the sunset view with my hp. Hehehehehe ... the usual me. Though there is a lot a people around the park, but somehow, I feel peaceful and relaxed... Nice!!

Tired...tired...

Yeah, I am tired. Very really plus desperately tired. However, work must go on NO MATTER WHAT!! I have a whole loads of journal paper to read. About 50 more or so. I need to do some auditing work since the environmental officer is coming to inspect the lab. Loads to do. Chemicals list, MSDS (material safety data sheets), the safety procedures, the procedures of each equipments, GOSH.... plus my experiments and abstract writting... the deadline are all at the same time!! hmm how am I ever going to keep up with that!!

My eyes just cant open wide!! Even now it keeps closing. Anything that can help me to make my eyes wide open. Sometimes, I just hope I have more than 24 hours or have more hands and brains to work on. Sigh...but bo pian... Just take the challenge gracefully as it comes then since I cant avoid it. Kami-sama please grant me more time to work on...please... If I pass this stage successfully, I think I can become wonder woman already. Hahahhahahahaha..... Hopefully things will turn out fine. My fellow bloggers and readers who are reading this post please pray hard with me so that I am able to work everything out.

Be strong to withstand whatever that come!! Ok eyes really cannot make it...Good night!!!

Christmasu Approaching~ Presento presento~~ -_-"

Christmas is in the air again... Although I am so damn busy with work, I did not forget to decorate the lifeless lab that I am working in. Hahahahhahahhaa ... There is a snowman welcoming anyone that comes in and happily bidding anyone goodbyes when they are leaving the lab. Cool heh?! The thought came in a few days ago to buy something to decorate the lab. So that it will become a little livelier and a better environment to work in. I just cant resist this cute little snowman when I passed by Wastson this morning. Not too bad, huh? Hehehehehe

The night before I went to West Coast Plaza just to snap some pictures of the decorations while I was on my way back from lab. It's the best time to take the pics of those decor since there are not many people around (it's about 10pm when I reached). Look at the christmas trees... look at the reindeer... and the most important presents!!!!!! Since I know I wont be getting any this year, so I just snap them to keep them as a memory. Hmm... I think they are quite well taken. Good good... seems that my skill has improve a little. However, taking the angle took quite a while and the passer by are so curious with my posture while taking the pics. Hahahahhahaha ... But who cares as long as I enjoyed the moment. Nothing really matters, right?

Then, of course, I will never forget to snap a few of myself playing with the Christmas tree although it warned DO NOT TOUCH HIGH VOLTAGE ... *fainted* There was a uncle wanted to take a pics of me. But .... Thanks uncle but I can manage myself *Smile* ... The security guard also looked at me one kind. Don't know why. Maybe cannot stand my craziness. Hahahhahahaha.... Well, that's part of me. A little crazy is a must to have else it is DEFINITELY NOT me. That's makes everyone's life happy and wonderful ... I guess ... maybe not .. Hehehehhe

This really released my stress that I had been coping with. Able to continue my work again. Till then and it's time for me to go ZzzzZZzzzzZZzzZZZZZzzzzzz ... quite tired. Need to do reading and experiments tomorrow. More is to come!! Keep my fingers crossed and hope everything will turn out fine at the end of the day. Kami-sama, douka everything will be daijobu-ne~~ ^o^

Formosa Delights Again

Yes, it's Formosa Delights again. I appointed Gong for lunch and it takes forever for him to wake up...sad...OK back to the topic. Our initial intention is to find some nice food in West Coast Plaza. But, gosh...a lot of eateries aint open yet. Except the BBQ Chicken where you need to queue for a long time. So we decided to change our location to Formosa delights. Imagine what we reach there at about 1230pm and we only manage to get our food at 130pm. So sad... and my stomach was rumbling like what. Protesting me for not giving it enough food. To be honest I really love this restaurant. A lot! *Nodding my head hard agreeing with what I am saying* Needless to mention why. I think you can see from the pics that it is so damn crowded. From Monday to Sunday, lunch and dinner are always soo crowded. I wonder how much is their earnings per month... Hehehehhehehe...

So while waiting for the food to arrive, I played around with my camera, which now it's a must for me to bring it anywhere so that I can just snap the moments that I like especially on FOOOD!!! Hohohohoho *Laughing loudly and wickedly* =P. But it seems the food takes forever to come. I complained to Gong for almost half an hour. Whining non-stop saying I was hungry. The intention is to make him guilty *Evil grins* but seems that he didnt catch it. Sigh.... ok forget about it. I called the waitress asking her to speed up the food by telling her "cutely" that I am hungry and to my surprise in 5-10mins time, she served the dumpling. Yay~~~~~~ *Success* Hehehehehe....

So TADAA~~~ the dumpling came and I manage to snap a pic. Sorry Gong~ you have to wait for a while cos I need to snap the moments of the food. The dumplings were boiled to cook rather than last time where I ordered the pan-fried type. Well, this taste much better than the pan-fried ones cos it is not oily. Good for me hahahahaha.... And by the way you look at how the way Gong eat I think you guys can pretty much guess how hungry are we. It's like we had not eaten for several days. Too bad we ordered only six. We should have ordered more cos we waited for the food to come again and 3 each just wasnt enough to fill the really totally empty stomach. Hungry~~~ Hungry~~~~~

Just look at our faces anticipating for the food. We looked around the restaurant and a lot of people eating and chomping their food down their esophagus tract. AND WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR FOOOD??? SOO UNFAIR....WE WANT JUSTICE!! -Sad- Cant do anything except drooling. -Hwaaaaaaaaaaaa- Therefore, we decided to distract ourselves by

(i) Gong was busy with his calls. Like he was doing a multi-billion business. It's like more than 3 calls for sure.... but I dont understand what he was saying since he was speaking in Thai Language.

(ii) For me, I was posing in acting cute hahahahhahahahaa.... to get myself away from boredness..... hehehehee... a typical me =P

Finally, the two main lead actor and actress came!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooo!!!! Stirred fried Kailan and diced bun spicy chicken. Hmm.. not too bad but not as good as I expected. Kailan was a little to salty and oily. The chicken taste good in the first few bites but too spicy I think. It will be better if the chicken is less spicy. They put in peanuts and sesame paste into the soup I think and it was served real HOT. Just look at the fuming soup from the pics. Geeee~~Exciting. Then you deep the fried bun into the soup and it taste good with the bun. Nice meal. I guess the person that you are having the meal with is important too. Without the right eating companion, you just wont enjoy the food no matter how good or tasty the food is. Well, I have experienced it! I definitely know how it feels.Feel extremely good in treating my stomach well..hehehehehe *Chomp*Chomp*Chomp*

Here goes the food folks! Enjoy reading and hope to see you guys in future to come. Happy reading and blogging!! Matta-ne~~ Kekekekeke *Laughing sinisterly again* =D

Xiaodoudou.blogspot.com

This is really a good blog, which inspires us. Making us to forgive, forget and live today at the fullest as tomorrow will never come. I, somehow, came across this blog in Jeslyn's Blog. Although, it's a blog of two years ago, I think it serves it's purpose as an inspiration for us to uptake any challenge in our life. I cant help but to agree with Jeslyn that you will really cry after you read this blog. Reality is just to cruel for a cute girl like her but she stayed positive most of the time.

We have so much time to whine, complain, be angry, jealous, fight, quarrel, revenge, compare till we forgot to love, be honest, happy and most important be true to ourselves plus kind to others. For Xiaodoudou, she didn't have a choice and time to complain and be angry. She can only accept what that has come to her. During her treatment of her 3rd stage cancer, she manage to live her life to her fullest and make people around her happy not mentioning not to let her loved ones worry about her. Though, there might be no achievement, no Nobel prize but she enjoyed every second that she is struggling to live on happily and positively. I salute her spirit to live on. Therefore, sit back and take a time to think what have we the healthies been doing all this time? Well, it's time to change our perception towards challenges in life that comes forward. Nothing is too difficult than facing death. Accept the challenges gracefully as it comes. BE BLESSED THAT WE ARE STILL ALIVE!

~HENSHIN~ A walk to remember

"Change!" It's a word that everyone dislike to hear when someone tells you about it. But, hey, cool down, lay back a little and think what they have to say to you. I was once a stubborn person when there are people asking me to change on the way on how I look. I was damn offended by that when people make a remarks on how ugly I look and I should change. However, when I cool off and start to think about it, hmmm... well.. maybe it's really time to change on the way on how I look. Not for others but for a better self either in personality wise or appearance wise. I started to understand that I have to keep my youth while I still have the ability to. *Sinister laugh*

Have you ever have the same situation as I was and really resisted it like any anti-society group? Well, probably you should laid back and ponder about it. I am definitely sure that when the person dare to comment you face to face, he really cares about you but of course there are people who doesn't really care but just simply want to put a remarks and thinks they are really very great about themselves. For this type of people just ignore their remarks and keeps those who are sincere towards their comments.

Alrite let's see how I change from year 2003 to 2008. Yes, 5 years!!! And it's up to you guys to judge whether I have changed to become better or the other way round. Pictures before that are not in digital form and maybe you guys will even see a bigger bigger changes from what I was last time. Year 2003 is my longest hair that I ever had. Before that, all along I only have boy cut ... too bad those who knows me in my current state dont believe me ... trust me. So everytime I have to flash my Malaysian I identity card to prove them that I am telling the truth. I have been keeping long hair since then. Why? Cos my mum doesnt allow me to cut my hair short due to my tomboyish character. -Sad- She said I behave too tomboyish so short hair will make a lot of guys runaway from me hahahahhahahaha of course she said this jokingly. However, I am not worry cos fate will running knocking at your door when the time is right. Therefore, just enjoy the privilege that I still have while I am still single. Hahahahahhahaha

Okay...picture time. Enjoy while I did a little description of each year. Actually, I have too many pictures to upload. Therefore, I just randomly picked out a few.

Year 2003

Those were taken when I was doing my Master of Civil-Environmental Management in UTM. This is when I started to keep my hair long. Well, just look at the innocent and playful look, which I dont possess the first character anymore. The experience throughout the years has seasoned me a lot and I am still being season now to uptake any challenges in life that is coming along! *Grins widely till you cant see my eyes* Hahahhahaha

Year 2004-2005

Now coming into my working years as lecturer in INTI College Malaysia after I finished my master degree. Well, it seems that I am getting rounder by years. Hahahahhahaha However, I do think the face change to become more mature a little bit I think. However, nothing much change on the look and grooming wise (I will sometime write a topic on personal grooming too). They still look the same.

Year 2006

This year was the year where I was admitted to NUS in singapore and I start to change drastically. Probably it's due to it's easier to the way people dress here where they really groom themselves or because I am getting older and hope to retain my younger days, which I didnt do last time when I was studying in UTM, Malaysia.

Year 2007

Again, year 2007 seems that I started to get better, no?? But I think I did, hmmmmmm....or I am making a mistake here *Scratching my head*

Early and mid Year 2008

Those were taken early this year. The latter ones I have already post them in my October 2008 blog with the title Photoshoot Outing -if you guys are curious enough, maybe can browse it there. Hahahahhahaha.

Well, that's it guys. It's time for my house cleaning task before I am off to school. Thanks for reading it through. This might trigger the thoughts in guys and girls who is yet to transform. Believe me, it only take A BIG STEP to change. I have changed and is still changing and so can you. So dont depress over on how you look. Be confident and start changing! I believe you guys and gals will change into the most beautiful butterfly in the garden IF you are willing to take the initiative to! Nothing is impossible and making the impossible possible!! *Wink+Smile*
